    Vittoria Marchetti is sold by her own father into marriage on her wedding night - a "truce" between two rival mafia families that turns out to be nothing but a transaction. Dante Salvatore doesn't marry her for peace either; he wants access to bring her family down. Neither expects to fall for the other. Then, a masked intruder crashes through their wedding-night balcony doors, and Vittoria discovers the marriage was never about the truce at all. Someone paid to have her delivered into Salvatore hands, and he doesn't fail twice. As Vittoria and Dante dig deeper, they uncover a decade-old massacre, a stolen inheritance, and a conspiracy stretching back to the night her own grandfather destroyed an entire family to protect a monstrous secret. Betrayal follows betrayal. Allies become enemies, enemies become family, and every truth cuts deeper than the last. Forced together by blood and violence, Vittoria and Dante have to decide whether the marriage that trapped them can become the one thing they actually choose, before the man pulling every string finally comes to collect what he believes he's owed. Forbidden by blood. Bound by danger. Chosen, in the end, by choice.

    Kurosawa Ayame was just a scriptwriter. When the otome game 'Jujutsu x Romance' was released, controversy exploded, especially over the route of Ryomen Sukuna. Too eerie. Too cruel. Too many bad endings. Players raged. Ayame only laughed. After all, wasn't that exactly how he was supposed to be? Then she woke up - inside the very game she had written. A cold system prompt greeted her: [Route locked. Exit unavailable.] [Players will not die in the main storyline. As long as the body remains intact, revival is possible.] [Reminder: Maximize the target's favorability to return to reality.] There was only one problem. Her assigned target... was the King of Curses himself. Ayame had no intention of falling in love. To her, it was just a task, a dangerous game she had to clear to get home. So she played. She died. Again and again. Learned. Adapted. Survived. And still, she moved forward, raising his favorability step by step. Until- [Congratulations, player. You have obtained: Wishing Machine.] A shortcut. A perfect betrayal. Ignoring the system's warning, Ayame made her choice. And it worked. She escaped. Returned to reality. ...Or so she thought. Because the next moment- She opened her eyes in 2018. [Favorability requirement not met. Minor penalty applied.] Kurosawa Ayame had a very bad feeling about this.

    [Naruto + Jujutsu Kaisen + Uchiha + Heavenly Restriction] I heard the Uchiha clan produced a good-for-nothing who can't use chakra. What a miserable life, being born into a prestigious Dōjutsu clan like that. I wonder just how pathetic that guy must look. I'd love to see it for myself. At least... that was what I thought. But when that man's presence swallowed the Byakugan's field of vision, Ryosuke Hyuga realized he had been wrong. This was no so-called good-for-nothing. This was a monster that had no place in reality itself!! ... Shingetsu Uchiha, twin brother of Mikoto Uchiha, maternal uncle of the future Itachi and Sasuke, and bearer of a Heavenly Restriction. The strongest physique in history, combined with the Sharingan. A terror beyond the limits of its era descends, and Konoha's unruly citizens meet their absolute tyrant. To complete himself, Shingetsu developed a technique to control blood and seized Earth Grudge Fear to create modified Shikigami. "If the sunlight is too intense for you, then hide from it quietly. Or do you actually think you can bring down the sun?" ... And in the Jujutsu World, where Cursed Spirits were born for reasons unknown... Tengen: "He is the beginning, the source of everything." Sukuna: "Oh... I've finally met you... the original curse!!" Satoru Gojo: "That is the source of the Three Great Families' Cursed Techniques... the one spoken of in our Clan legends!" ... Kenjaku: "Everything I've done until now was just so I could see him again... just once..." "I've hated him all this time..." "Why won't such a perfect moon shine on me?!" ...

    Book one-A Kingdom Made of Night For three thousand years, the gods have kept their greatest mistake buried beneath a dead kingdom. Malachar, the Devourer King. One of the ancient Firstborn, he was created with an insatiable ability to consume magic, immortality, and even the power of gods. Unable to destroy him, the gods chained him beneath the earth and erased his name from history. Until Vespera finds him. Known as the Hollow Queen, Vespera is the most beautiful living creature in existence-and one of the most feared. Kings have craved her. Mortals have worshipped her. Entire kingdoms whisper her name like a curse. Beautiful beyond reason and utterly without empathy, Vespera feeds on fear, pain, grief, and the souls of those unfortunate enough to cross her path. She was never supposed to find Malachar. She certainly wasn't supposed to free him. The moment his chains break, the world feels his return. But Malachar discovers something far more fascinating than freedom. Her. For the first time in his existence, the Devourer finds something he cannot consume. And Vespera, who has spent centuries inspiring terror and desire in everyone who looks upon her, finally meets a creature who sees every monstrous part of her-and wants more. Their fascination becomes desire. Their desire becomes obsession. And their obsession becomes something far more dangerous than either of them alone. He would slaughter kingdoms at her request. She would tear apart anyone foolish enough to believe they could take him from her. Neither wants redemption. Neither possesses a hidden goodness waiting to be discovered. And love will not save them. It will make them worse. Now ancient powers are awakening. Prophecies are unraveling. The gods themselves are beginning to fear what has been unleashed. Because the world was prepared for the Devourer King to return. It was prepared to fear the Hollow Queen. It was never prepared for them to fall in love.

    Nathan Arrhenius died once. Waking up again as a fantasy kingdom's least beloved prince was not part of the plan. Armed with an unreliable Guide and incomplete memories of a novel he never finished, Nathan is given a single, abstract objective: save the villain of the novel, Caleb Beirne, who just so happened to be a massive asshole. There's just one tiny little problem. The story is no longer unfolding the way it should. At the royal Academy, relations between nobles and commoners are beginning to fracture. The Church tightens its grip as forbidden magic resurfaces within a revolution. Students enter the Academy with ulterior motives. And every attempt Nathan makes to fix things seems to drag him further from his goal. As Nathan will come to realize, the villain isn't the only one who needs saving. Or, alternatively: amazing lesbian (yaoi) couple and evil and intimidating horse (mantis)

    Ron transmigrates into the world of his favorite dark fantasy game-and straight into the body of its first doomed villain. His opening scene? A kidnapped saintess lies beneath him, five hundred holy knights are already surrounding the building, and the game's strongest protagonist is only ten minutes away from chopping him into pieces. The system gives him two choices: 「Violate the future White Saintess, die a villain, and unknowingly save the world. 」 Or... 「Fight fate itself and survive. 」 Ron chooses to live. Using rather improper means to take away a nun's purity-how many years in prison would that earn? Looking at the nun lying before him, Ron couldn't help but seriously ponder that question! "Beautiful Miss Nun, rest assured, I have absolutely no interest in polluting your soul!" Armed with knowledge of every hidden treasure, every secret route, every overpowered exploit, and even an enhancement bug the developers never fixed, he begins rewriting the world's destiny. But surviving his scripted death is only the beginning. The repaired worldline wants him dead. A mysterious "Repairman" is correcting reality. A system unlike anything he expected is pushing him toward impossible conquest missions. And the women destined to become the world's greatest heroes... are beginning to see the infamous villain in a very different light. In a world where fate has already decided everyone's ending, Ron intends to break every rule, exploit every loophole, and turn the worst possible start into the greatest advantage. After all... If the world is just a game, then no one knows how to beat it better than the player who already cleared it.

    Fate. Everyone swears it's beautiful. That the goddess knows best. That when she hands you a mate, it's the perfect match, written in the stars. Sounds sweet, right? Yeah, tell that to me-an omega who's spent his whole life being treated like trash by the pack that should've been my family. My father, the almighty Alpha of the BloodRose Shadows, made sure I knew what disappointment looked like before he walked out. My mom stayed, but that didn't stop the whispers, the stares, the hands that shoved me lower every chance they got. Around here, "omega" just means servant. Disposable. Forgettable. Now the clock's ticking. In two days, I turn eighteen. In two days, the goddess will chain me to someone for the rest of my life. My mate. My "perfect other half." Can you feel the excitement? Yeah, me neither. This is my story-of fate's cruel joke, of blood that never protected me, and of the bond I never asked for. Because destiny doesn't always save you. Sometimes, it just breaks you.

    Krypton didn't just fall-it vanished into the void, taking Kara Zor-El's entire world with it. But instead of landing on Earth under a gentle sky, her escape pod shattered through a cosmic tear, crashing into the dark, storm-lashed seas of Dragonstone during the reign of King Viserys I. Found bleeding in the surf by Prince Daemon Targaryen, the silver-haired girl with starry eyes and a strange white hound was given a new name, a false lineage, and a dangerous secret. Claimed as the Rogue Prince's bastard daughter, "Kara Targaryen" spent a decade drowning her survivor's guilt in Arbor red, sparring with dragonlords, and suppressing god-like powers in a medieval world that couldn't comprehend what she was. Now, as King Viserys breathes his last and the Dance of the Dragons threatens to turn the Seven Kingdoms to ashes, the jaded bastard of Dragonstone faces a choice. She can watch her adoptive family tear itself apart-or she can step out of the shadows, unleash the sun's fire, and force a bloody realm to heal.

But Anna Marie "Rogue" Targaryen is no ordinary princess of the blood. The cosmic energies that should have created the mutant hero known as Rogue in another universe have crossed reality to manifest within her. Gifted with super-strength, flight, and a lethal, uncontrollable power to absorb the memories, life force, and skills of anyone she touches, Anna Marie grows up behind a barrier of silk and steel gloves-feared by courtiers, guarded by her fierce parents, and isolated by a curse she cannot wash away. When she steps before the ancient she-dragon Vhagar and forges a psychic and physical bond that stuns the realm, she becomes the Black faction's most terrifying secret weapon as the Dance of the Dragons tears Westeros apart. Caught between the brutal calculus of a throne forged in fire and her own desperate search for humanity, Anna Marie must decide whether to become the monster the Greens claim she is, or a bridge between two worlds. Because in a war of total destruction, the most dangerous thing a princess can have... is the power to take everything.

    Luck was never meant to be a hero. In fact, he'd much rather be the villain. Obsessed with aura farming and achieving what he calls "true power," Luck sets out on a journey alongside Nia, his Beastkin slave. To the rest of the world, he's nothing more than a strangely lucky blind adventurer. But the blindfold covering his eyes is nothing more than an act. Luck's plans take an unexpected turn when he crosses paths with the Hero of Knowledge and his party. Hiding his identity behind a mask given to him by his guild master and the alias "Phantom Rabbit," he's dragged into helping them compete in the upcoming Tournament of Adventurers. Now Luck has a problem. How is a wannabe villain supposed to stand ominously in the shadows, aura farm, and pursue true power when everyone keeps mistaking him for some blind, ridiculously lucky adventurer who shows up exactly when they need him? Perhaps the secret to achieving true power lies within Luck's Charm... If only he knew he didn't hide it.
